Gah! My Dolce Vita "Wilix" boots are here!

I mentioned in a previous POST that I'm quite obsessed with low-heeled ankle boots...so I'm beyond ecstatic to finally get my hands on this pair of Wilix boots. It's everything I expected it to be. It's pretty bad ass and sturdy and will go perfectly well with my muscle shirts and denim shorts. Aside from the boots, I also got myself a pair of chunky peeptoe platforms. They remind me of the shoes from Prada and Steve Madden. Ordered these shoes, plus a pair of Jeffrey Campbell "Busted" (yay for platform creepers!) from Feet For A Queen.

On a slightly different note (but still related to shopping), I've been constantly seeing various local replicas of Cambridge Satchels. While doing a bit of Search-And-Shop, I stumbled upon a fluorescent yellow Cambridge replica via The Bag Finder PH. Fluoro Yellow! Holy cow! This is my first time seeing a locally-made fluoro satchel and it looks yummy! I had an authentic Cambridge fluoro yellow 11" satchel pre-ordered from a local shoe shop about four months ago (which is equivalent to a decade of waiting, if you ask me) but until now, THAT bag is still MIA. Makes me want to get this replica from Honeybadger Satchels instead! Damn!

The Dolce Vita boots are great and I tried a pair on last December and now they're on sale, I want to get my hands on a pair. I can't remember the sizing, but I vaguely remember trying on a US9 and they were a size too big. What is the sizing like for your pair?
